Capo 3
Intro.: | (D) | (D) | (D) (A) | (G) (D) | (D) (A) | (D) | (D) ---
I know they (D)say you can't go home again
(F#m) I just had to come back one last time
(G)Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these (D)handprints on the front steps are (A)mine
And up those (D)stairs, in that little back bedroom
Is where I (F#m)did my homework and I learned to play guitar
And I (G)bet you didn't know under that live oak
My (D)favorite dog is buried in the (A)yard
(Chorus)
I (G)thought if I could touch this place or (D)feel it
This (Em)brokenness inside me might start (D)healin'
Out (G)here it's like I'm someone else,
I (Bm)thought that maybe I could find my-(G)self
If (D)I could just come in I swear I'll (G)leave
Won't take nothin' but a (D)memory from the (A)house that built (D) me
Mama (D)cut out pictures of houses for years
Plans were (G)drawn, concrete poured, and nail by nail and board by board
(D) Daddy gave life to mama's dream (A)
(Chorus)
I (G)thought if I could touch this place or (D)feel it
This (Em)brokenness inside me might start (D)healin'
Out (G)here it's like I'm someone else,
I (Bm)thought that maybe I could find my-(G)self
If (D)I could just come in I swear I'll (G)leave
Won't take nothin' but a (D)memory from the (A)house that built (D) me
You (Bm)leave home, you move on and you (D)do the best you can
(Em)I got lost in this whole world and for-(G)got who I (A)am
(Chorus)
I (G)thought if I could touch this place or (D)feel it
This (Em)brokenness inside me might start (D)healin'
Out (G)here it's like I'm someone else,
I (Bm)thought that maybe I could find my-(G)self
If (D)I could just come in I swear I'll (G)leave
Won't take nothin' but a (D)memory from the (A)house that built (G) me
Outro.: | (D) | (Em) (A) | (D)
